Anti-NEFL (Neurofilament Light Polypeptide, NF-L, 68kD Neurofilament Protein, Neurofilament triplet L Protein, NF68, NFL) Polyclonal Antibody

Neurofilament-L (for neurofilament light polypeptide, or NF-L), a member of the intermediate filament family, is a major component of neuronal cytoskeletons. Neurofilaments are dynamic structures; they contain phosphorylation sites for a large number of protein kinases, including protein kinase A, protein kinase C, cyclin-dependent kinase 5, extracellular signal regulated kinase, glycogen synthase kinase-3, and stress-activated protein kinase gamma. In addition to their role in the control of axon caliber, neurofilaments may affect other cytoskeletal elements, such as microtubules and actin filaments. ||Applications: |Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry.
